Hey! Awesome a 500-year old secret that has only 6 published books readily available about it. I bet they don't cost near what the inevitable seminar will cost. Paperback is 14.95 according to Google Book search.

Also, it's not much of a secret if you can find yutube vids on Wudang Neigong...

Until disaster struck. With the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty by the Manchu in the 17th Century, the growing threat of Wudang Neigong was suddenly forced completely underground, forbidden to be practiced in public.

And so...
For 12 Generations It Was Amazingly
Passed On To Just 1 Person
Each Generation!

It was as if it no longer existed...

...Fast forward to the year 2005, in Montreal, Canada...

I was introduced by a friend to a man named Zhiwei Chen (his friends call him Raf).

Raf was Chinese and in Montreal studying. But on the side he also taught a strange type of "internal martial art" I'd never seen or heard about in all my extensive studies called... Wudang Neigong!

Interesting history lesson here... Let's just say that I'm very skeptical of the 12 generations part.

another yellow brick road for FSD

Martin, Martin., your extensive studies, ??? with who?? for what?? you have never studied under a legit teacher for anything else....

Not JKD, Not kali, Not BJJ, Not Wing Chun, Not the new Chinese Kickboxing SanShou, Not MMA not anything....ever..
and no your daddy does not count since he was never certified...extensive????????????????? why should anyone believe that you have now studied under anyone legit?

Is your extensive studying in books, videos/dvd`s etc...since that appears to be where you have gotten your material from prior....for "new" ideas to make people cough up their cash...

Your EGO is nauseating, save us the tripe, (thats cow fat BTW) ...

I wonder how that European Officer would feel about the other connections you and your family have bragged all these years about...??

It's not questionable, it's flat out dubious. The description screams "folk tale". There was no "Wudang Neigong", there have been numerous, zillion practices, skills, training methods, formulated into substyles of a circle, not a region. Neigong is a group of practices, not a "style". Some or the whole practices may be okay, but then it's just some random, widely spread training practice of todays China. But there is also a risk of getting purely fantasy, and misbuild folk qigong crap. Stick with Taiji from a real Taiji trainer of todays top circles, there you at least know who is for real, and the practice gets you to the same goal anyways.

1)they really do teach JIU JITSU. I find this hard to believe. Is is true that hey are now associated with Can Ryu Jiu jitsu with Therien JJ. It was pointed out that they merely shared school space in one particular location only, and that though some cross training may happen as a result, no form of jiu jitsu was incorporated in the FSD curriculum.

or

2)they are hoping to attract as many students as possible, cashing on the MMA hype. they also advertise cage and octagon fighting...

i think it's no.2.

Doesn't surprise me. They are touting Bo staff training as the cure for ADD on their blog right now. But to expand upon your point, I found this link quite interesting...

Look for the joint Therien Ju-jitsu / Fang Shen Do Kung-fu reference as the last entry under advertisements. Look at the picture in the link (or click http://www.demilografix.com/images/p...kick_large.jpg ) -- and look at the ad at the bottom right... it's a joint ad between FSD and Therien JJ, both logos on the same ad.

Though the FSD website doesn't seem to have any mention of JJ classes..
